Thus, one by one the leading Universities are dropping their preparatory departments and soon the prep will be unknown except in the jerkwater academies that style themselves Colleges and Universities. THE Sophomores of the Nebraska University have started a paper that they call the Sophomerian. It is run for the amusement of the Sophomore class and asks for neither ads nor subscription. We fear they will find it rather expensive amusement. Our correspondent "Bess" is attracting attention from our exchanges, as well as exciting considerable interest in K. S. U. PRINCETON has changed the chapel hour from 8:45 to 9. a. m., and the first recitation is shortened fifteen minut s in order to give the foot ball team more time for practice. This is encouraging athletics with a vim. THE Hesperian speaks of the Kappa Kappa Gamma "sorority." We predict that the fellow that wrote the local which used the above mentioned expression will not do so again, unless the Nebraska girls are different from their sisters in Kansas. We receive exchanges from most of the State Universities of the west but Missouri seems to be somewhat exclusive. Can not the Argues condecent to exchange now and then? K, S, U students are interested in the doings of Missouri University and would be glad to have some news new and then. At Illinois College it is difficult to secure men to accept positions on the college papers, and a writer in the lst issue of the Rambler laments t.e.fact that it is so hard to fill the staff. It would do his heart good to see the fights and the ex citement that are inseparable from an election to the staff o the papers here. Now that the Base Ball and Tennis season is over, why don't the Foot Ball association get together and have the teams practiced It does not reflect very much credit to have it said that the University has no active Foot Ball team. It is a little embarrassing when some college wishes to arrange for a game to be compelled to answer that we have no team. It is late to begin, but if those who were members of the association last year will take the matter in hand, and have regular time for practice each week, much can yet be accomplished and some games arranged before the season is over. The Review came out this week and contained a clipping from the Hesperian that was to the discredit of an alleged student of the University. We saw the article some time ago but at the time it did not make enough impression on us to elicit any comment as it was so indefinite in its charges and as we believed that it was written without any foundation on fact. A charge of that kind is easily made and as the writer was discreet enough to indulge in the vague statement "one Kansas mother" it is no use to deny it. However we might retaliate by saying we know one Nebraska mother that won't send her youngest son to the University, etc., and the Hesperian could not prove it otherwise. However we won't for we would lie, just as we believe the Hesperian has done. Party Full Dress Ties, new shapes at Abe Levy's. The colleges of Illinois are ca ling each other names in an endea or to decide the number of visitors that a college is expected to entertain at the Oratorical Contests. They should come to K. S. U., at our next contest and see the number of visitors that the Kansas colleges send to the contests and then go home and feel ashamed. If every college in the state don't send at least twenty-five visitors and those nearest to us a hundred each the University boys would think they were treated shabbiily, instead of getting mad because too many were sent. What would some of the colleges that are engaged in the afo emended dispute think if they see a delegation of about two hundred that the university usually ends to the contest Our visitors never lack for entertainment, either. BEFORE our next issue the University Ball will have become a thing of the past, and the question as to whether or not such a scheme may be successfully carried out here in K. S. U., will have been settled. Much has been said of this plan and we will not now attempt to re-say all the arguments in its favor, nor is it necessary, for one of the Committee informs us that there have been about seventy-five tickets sold, and that others who can not attend the Ball have evidenced their desire for its success by a subscription of money instead. Does anyone doubt that it will, be a success, we hope he will see this showing made by the Committee some little time ago and be assured. Every one cries for a gymnasium, and all declare their willingness to help that along in any way possible; here, then, is their opportunity, for there can be no more important part of the means of physical training than the ball ground, tennis court, and fields for kindred sports. You are wanted at the Ball; if you do no dance or do not care for that sort of thing come anyway and look on at least for a short time. If however, you do not attend at all, still you are not precluded from showing your enthusiasm and interest in the beginning of a gymnasium and of a movement in the direction of physical training, for a subscription of the price of a ticket or as much as you can give will be thankfully received by the committee in charge of the Ball, for their mission is not to get up the Ball for the amusement it may furnish, but instead the Ball is merely a secondary matter, a means by which the end, the raising of a sufficient sum of money to make a start, at least, on our Athletic grounds, may be more easily attained. We urge once more, and for the last time, the attendance and assistance of every loyal student of K. S. U. It is not often that one gets an opportunity to save something on soap, but now that time has come. A lot of Eastman Perfumed Soaps just in at the "Blue Mortar" and are offered at half price. Try Raymond & Dick's latest. "One wilful breakage of the ten o'clock rule gives five demerits, one wilfull breakage of the attendance at church rul. gives five demerits, one wilful breakage of the rule concerning absence from town gives five demers. Fifteen demerits suspends the offender from the institution." That's the word with the bark on it.—Beaco . Let's see. With the above rules how long could the average University student stay in the University? The first night he gets to town he goes to see his girl; gets home at 11 p.m. F ve demerits. If the second day is Sunday he is all right for he goes to church; if it is not Sunday of course he is all right any how, unless he goes to Baldwin to see his Baker girl as he is apt to do, in which case he will have en demerits. The next night he stays at home and is all right, but the next night he is pretty apt to want to see his girl again and has fifteen demerits to his credit. About four days; rather a short term of school. However if our faculty were to adopt any such set of rules we suppose the K. S. U. students would learn all those little arts of deception so prevalent at Baker and without doubt would soon be able to lie about the time he got home the night before, with as clear a conscience as the champion liars of Baker. Who will enter the contest this year? The time is drawing near and those who are contemplating entering the contest should be making their preparations. Too often the contestants here delay their preparation until the last minute and then hastily write an oration and still more hastily prepare it and thus fail to do themselves and the University justice. The University should win the contest this year and will if those intending to enter will begin now to prepare themselves and keep it up until the contest. The representatives of the University pay less attention to their preparation than those of any other institution in the State. The other schools all have instructors in elocution and their services are brought into use for months before the contest. The contestants here, depend on their own ability to guide them in their preparation with the exception of the little assistance that they may receive from some member of the faculty that has some knowledge of elocution. It is not the intention to complain of the success of our representatives for it has been far better than any one could expect, K. S. U. having won about half of the total number of the contests that have been held, but because we have been so successful should urge us on to endeavor to make our future record even better than our past. Kennedy's Fruit Cake six months old, put up in elegant decorated tin boxes or pails and a full line of Kennedy goods at O'HERN & WOODRUFF'S. Clean coal cor students at A, J. Griffin's. Full dress vests at Abe Levy's. ONE of the University reporters for one of the city papers says that he is going to quit writing for the papers, that it gets one into trouble. He has no doubt been writing something about some of the girls fraternities that was not taken in the right spirit. If so he has our sympathy. Experience has taught us how unpleasant it may be for one to say the wrong thing about so sensitive a topic as a girl's fraternity. THE local contest at Ottawa will be held December 13. Their representative will have two months more to prepare himself for the state contest than our representative. Why don't our association change its bylaws so the contest will be held earlier? The bad weather last Friday prevented several students from attending college —Washburn Reporter. Nothing short of a second flood would prevent O U's. students from attending their classes, and then an ark would be seen floating toward the college with most of them on board.—Campus: K. S. U. students would not wait for an ark but would swim to gain time. Black Socks, fast colors at Abe Levy's. Leave your Thanksgiving orders for Turkeys, Geese, Ducks or Chickens at O'HERN & WOODRUFF'S.
